Gearbox president Randy Pitchford has denied rumors that Aliens: Colonial Marines (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) has been canceled.

The fate of the team-based shooter was called into question following rumors that Sega has cut funding for the game. All is well according to Pitchford, though. Here’s a quote from an email he shot off to Kotaku:

Aliens: Colonial Marines is very exciting and I look forward to the right moment we can more fully unveil our efforts there.

Pitchford didn’t give any updates on the game’s ship date, but at least those looking forward to it now have some official assurance. Retailers currently have Aliens: Colonial Marines listed for a mid-2009 release.
